Cornell University has an enduring commitment to supporting equality of employment opportunity by affirming the values of diversity and inclusiveness. This commitment includes embracing religious diversity. As part of this commitment, the university will make good faith efforts to provide a reasonable accommodation of an employee’s sincerely held religious belief, unless the university believes such an accommodation would create an undue hardship or is contrary to the university’s commitment to diversity and inclusiveness.
